The Effect of Braking Pressure on Friction and Wear Properties of Brake Lining

The brake system is used to slow down or stop the vehicle speed. The brake lining is the most important part of the brake system, which is used to slow down or stop the vehicle by converting friction energy into heat energy. The pressure applied to the linings in the vehicle brake system is an important factor for the lining performance. The brake lining exhibits different properties depending on the pressure applied during braking and the brake lining content. In this study, friction coefficient and wear properties of brake linings at braking pressures of 5, 10 and 15 bar were investigated. The pressure increase increased the disc surface temperature and the wear amount of brake lining.
